Bright side

Wide-open spaces

Rustle of a breeze

Through timeless grass

Birdsong

In flight

Above, and out, and over

And down-along the meadow


Salt sand lies baking

Cracked earth

On barren beaches

Far reach

To past civilisations

Stationed

In retreat


Hillsides

Rolling down

By green, wheat grass

The corn

Not yet so high

Oh sigh for summer days

Summer days

Laid sideways such as these


Time

To reflect, so

Then to reconnect

With oh so so many

Past

Beginnings

Forgiving

This living, this being alive


With skin

Our closest

Close companion

Here

Beside the

Whitest, the whitest

Wild White Campion


Skin

Cradled around

Your finger

The ring of gold

Of

Past times; last lines

Left to linger


Left, bereft

Or on the bright side

Of so so many memories

Thoughts now to remember

On this quiet, there she goes

Listen to her breeze

Listen to the upside breeze
